Well done black Awesome Smile

BubblegumFactory · 28/10/2017 22:23

Well done! I’m in awe, having only ever done a 1/2 Marathon. You must be super fit.

Blackandpurple · 29/10/2017 07:15

Not super fit!

Do you know what? I saw every age, every size, people you think "they run?" And we all gave it a go!! That is what is important. Giving it a go.

So what is stopping you? Come up and to it! Awesome marshalls, some totally bonkers😂 Scenery is something else,and amazing support at the finish line where they call your name out to everyone!

TRY IT!

Well done black! I did it too - my first ever marathon. I absolutely loved it, the support was incredible.

Blackandpurple · 29/10/2017 07:36

Well done! Amazing eh?!

Will you do it again?

OP posts:
AuntLydia · 29/10/2017 07:48

I think I will yes! Although I have a thing about never doing the same race twice so I don't need to worry about pbs. In 3 years of running I've never repeated a race. I may have to make an exception for this one though, it really was a fantastic experience. How about you?

Blackandpurple · 29/10/2017 08:09

Im still buzzing. Sore but buzxing! Walk down the beach later, don't want to walk any hills😂

Being local i will do it again! I'm lucky as i know the route and i can train on it.

OP posts:
emummy · 29/10/2017 09:52

Well done to you both, fantastic running! Blackandpurple what did people say when they found out you'd run it?! Wishing you a nice relaxing week!

Blackandpurple · 29/10/2017 11:39

I messaged the gang from the club early yesterday morning to say id be at the start line to take pucs. Then i arrived in my kit with my bib on! They were very pleased!

I playing hide and seek on Friday though picking my number up 😂
